Running for a Good Cause at the Vienna Zoo Run in Schönbrunn Zoo

As soon as the gates close for visitors in the evening, the popular charity run through the Vienna Schönbrunn Zoo starts at 7:00 PM. The approximately six-kilometer-long route passes by animal residents such as elephants, penguins, and wolves – a run that is not only athletic but also extraordinary.

"We are very pleased that the Zoo Run has become a fixed date for many running enthusiasts," says Zoo Director Stephan Hering-Hagenbeck. "The special atmosphere in the evening zoo and the proximity to the animals make this run unique."

The route is suitable for both beginners and experienced runners. It becomes challenging with the ascent to the Tirolerhof – but also rewarding: Here you can observe Arctic wolves and Eurasian lynxes.

The Zoo Run was initiated by Gerry Fischer. He is the chairman of PH Austria, which aims to raise awareness of the rare and life-threatening disease pulmonary hypertension. The net proceeds are made available each year in equal parts to the Schönbrunn Zoo and the "Lung Children" of PH Austria.

The entry fee is 69 euros, including a start number and chip, as well as a food, drink, and sparkling wine voucher plus a finisher gift. Registration for the Vienna Zoo Run is possible at www.zoolauf.at.
